RAM Compatibility

[hrdsurfer]

Hi. I need some help to determine my motherboard RAM compatibility.
My current setup:
CPU: AMD Phenom II 955 Black Edition 3.2Ghz
Motherboard: Gigabyte 880GA-UD3H (rev. 2.0)
RAM: Kingston 2GB DDR3 1333Mhz x 2


URL to Motherboard: http://www.gigabyte.sg/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3425#sp

One of the RAM spoilt. I am thinking changing the ram to 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz x 2.

So my question is does my board support 1600Mhz? As the specification states like this "Support for DDR3 1866(OC)/1333/1066 MHz memory modules"

Meaning only support that 3 spped?

Thanks.

If u pair with 1333 ram , the higher speed ram will auto adjust to ur 1333 speed ram .As long as is ddr3 can work

Should be ok. Worse case auto downclocked to 1333

I thinking of replacing the both 1333 speed. No point pairing it. What I mean is will the board support the 2 new ram at 1600 speed.

That's the thing that i want to make sure. No point spending money to achieve same speed. Although cheap la

Ur motherboard in google show doesnt support 1600. So it might downclock to 1333 .

This is what i saw in giga site :
Memory
4 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16 GB of system memory (Note 1)
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR3 1866(OC)/1333/1066 MHz memory modules (Note 2)

Meaning can only support the 3 mentioned speed?
But the 1866 speed there is (OC) beside it. Means must overclock?

i would not worry. just get 1600 . it should downclock itself?

then you can downclock in ur mbo.

there is not much differnce between 1333 1600,

if u worried. get 1333bah

I not into over clock or down clock. Just set in the bios setting to downgrade the speed?

Normally it will auto run , no need do setting. Just double chk ur the shop u buy , ask if cannot can change or not

yeah.

your bios should set you set between 1333 or 1600.

Kingston ram got life time warranty, just RMA it at Convergent.

Never rma before. So just bring to the convergent and change new refurbished one?
Actually I was thinking this as last resort if replacing ram dun work.

normally i just get the cheapest ram, no point seeing speed or what. the price very volatile, sometimes 1600 might be cheaper than 1333 due to wider avaliabity/they produce too much etc.

for ur case, as long as ddr3 can liao
